The weather forecast was for rain and it was not wrong. Paul took us to our marshalling points and then we had to wait in the rain to cheer the runners as they passed us and ensure the traffic did not hinder them. With me was a Southam 2000 member and another 2 were just up the road from us so a nice conversation kept our minds off the cold until we knew the race would soon be upon us. Just before the race got to us (slightly before the 9km point) the traffic controller arrived with a police...

Several Rotarians visited the Kenilworth Club tonight. 2 members of Meriden and 1 from Knowle and Dorridge. We were kept very good company by the Rotarians at our table.

The work they do is great and helps to restore some limb movement to those who have suffered leprosy.
I had the chance to present the...

It was great to be driven across by Bill Bennett and to arrive amongst Rotarians I have known over the years and who have been such supporters of our Youth activities. Both Paul and I are very grateful to them for the hosting they have provided over the years to students coming on our camps (even when they had their own big events to organise).
We were made very welcome and the atmosphere was very relaxed. It was nice to be asked to make the speech early in the proceedings rather...
